While I wonder if Lance is clean or not, I have read that his heart is naturally larger than normal (cant remember how much but it makes a difference) also that his muscles generate only 25% as much lactic acid as normal in anerobic work.
Outside magazine has had several articles on his training. Lance spins at 120 or so rpm where the average (tour de france?) cyclist spins at 90 or so.
I'm to the point that I wonder if anyone is clean any more, notice how Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery ran at the olympic trials 100 meters?
I read bbc website everyday, but, you really can't beat a good african newspaper. In africa, if it bleeds, it definately leads! newvision.co.ug is the leading Ugandan newspaper. There was an article on the front page about an LRA raid on a local village with a picture of a big iron cooking pot with a leg sticking out of it (the article said the heads were in the pot) surrounded by bodies missing heads, arms and of course legs. There was another article about some cannibles(sp?) that had been arrested, the picture with the article showed them posing (not smiling) with the different body parts they were caught with. The Independent Post in Zambia is another on line paper as well as theperspective.org which is a Liberian newspaper. Do a google image search under "horror in the jungle" to see the Kony/LRA raid picture.
The best question to start an interview with!! Make them "tap dance" a little, try to get them under a little stress. I also like to do this with salesman coming in and wanting us to use their service. Start with, "know you say you can make these deliveries, there is always going to be a time something will get screwed up, how will you handle it and how promptly will you let us know about it" something like that, then if you have two or three of you sitting in, keep firing the questions, great fun!
I agree with you about the greatness of Schumacher. I read a few years back about how his team-mates couldn't use his suspension settings because he liks his car VERY stiff (and this is taking into account that F1 cars are pretty stiff to begin with) with no give, "like a go-cart" the article said. Apparently this makes the car act a little different than normal (I guess it would make it skid or drift more) and can be hard to control. I remember also reading about how he learned to get around the track on only one or two gears while driving world endurance cars for mercedes (lemans 24 hrs). This was during some race when he had lost all of his gears but 2nd and fifth and still managed to win. The engineers had determined driving around the course in fifth gear was the best compromise betweem not slowing down to much and saving fuel. He also works out for like eight hour a day, hes literally a superman!
So what I'm hearing here is this won't turn into a chernobyl. Does that mean in twenty or so years there won't be any faked stories about a chick riding her motor cycle thru the devastated area? That big egg was a little bizarre.
It is still the former soviet union, enough cash in the right hands and I'll bet the ride could be had. Of course you would get the attention of (if your not already dealing with with)the mafia,the police and military. A real adventure if you have the stomach (and cash and connections) for it.
Personally, I wouldn't train without a heart-rate monitor using the 180 formula. I run with it and use it on my concept two rowing machine. I highly recommend one. When i first got it, at 133 bpm I was riding 8 miles on level 6 on the exercise bike and burning about 350 calories for an hour workout. In a couple of months I was riding at the highest resistance setting and was riding 13 plus miles and burning 500 plus calories at the same heart-rate. its the only tech you really need. Personal note, why does anyone need head phones, enjoy your sorroundings and listen to nature.
In Worlds most dangerous places, Robert Young Pelton said that in Chechnya you could get thru any Soviet roadblock with a loaf of bread. Vodka and tobacco would get you an armed escort where ever you wanted to go.
I though it was funny when he said that these weren't the "robust shovel jawed blondes (the russian soilders) from stallone and van damme movies".
As a 40% burn I have to agree, you can't imagine the pain. It took me over a year to realize the problems I was having was from all the demeral I was given. The first book I read when I got out (six weeks, two operations) was One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. I loved the line about how demeral was more addictive than heroin.
The daily pain I went thru can't be described. It was four months before I had skin on my biceps and the left side of my chest.
After my first surgery I went to the tank every day. they would shoot you full of demeral and then strip your dressings. They would wrap their knuckles with gause and SCRUB out your burns. All the demeral would do is make you limp as a wet rag so you couldn't fight back. God it hurt like hell.
I have to agree, whats the problem with cloning people? I live in south carolina, cloning people would be somewhat of an improvement here no matter how horribly wrong the experiment went. I'm sure the church is behind this, I'm sure in a few centuries we will get an apology just as they did for Galileo.
Jeez, I can't believe people still make the "it will eliminate poverty" claims, like that would ever happen. If there is a dime of profit to be wrung out of something, it will be. Thats why I hate Science Fiction, its just bad fiction. If something is so great that it will eliminate poverty, then its something to be exploited for commercial gain. Its all about the haves and the have nots. If something comes along that will level the playing field, the haves will exploit it or suppress it.
I hate to say it, but warefare has changed. There aren't going to be many (if any) more big set battlefileds like WW2. 90% of current war casulties are civilian (during WW1 it was only 10%). Guerrilla and non conventional warefare are the way of the future. In vietnam we had one kill for ever 50,000 bullets used (comebackalive.com). Look at some of the wars in africa right now, a doped up 10 year old with an AK47 is what you fear.
It is roughly the same as an F-16(multi-role) but from what I've heard, its faster especially at sea-level. I've heard that the F-16 is only good for about 550 knots at sealevel fully loaded. The grippen was built for climbing and acceleration. Also, with its front canards (sp?) it lands at a steep angle (like its landing on a carrier) as opposed to a "flare" landing.
Right here in West Columbia SC is a company called Kryotech, check out www.kryotech.com. They released the first commercially available 1ghz system back in 99. The system had a refrigeration compressor and worked out the condensate removal etc. They have actually stopped making their system because the chips kept getting cheaper and faster anyway.
They were teamed up with AMD,as I recall a few months later Intel opens a small office here with a few engineers.
I was checking out the Kryotech site once and found out one of their "technology" guys was a recent graduate of Midland Technical College with his HVAC degree.
I don't know if it came out in 2003 but I though King Leopolds ghost was great. Mask of Anarchy but steven ellis was good also. My neice is going to Nigeria and I started reading all I could on africa, How De Body is another good book.

ANYTHING that would make a differnce is GREAT!

whats the story on high speed internet over the power grid, is this good or is it whack
